I think my favorite part of my job is getting to know other city government employees like myself. People who work for local city governments and live where they work really care about what they do, and they want to build trust with residents, and so I think they work very hard every day to make sure that they're the frontline and the front door for people to get to know city government.

Ashley Cleveland loves helping city governments better meet the needs of their citizens.
Before moving to Baltimore last year, she worked as a senior advisor in Salt Lake City, Utah. There, she managed the Love Your Block program, which is run by the Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation at Johns Hopkins to support resident-led neighborhood revitalization projects in cities across the U.S.
Through her work with Love Your Block, Ashley got to know the Bloomberg Center team, which led to a job offer for a role as a senior program advisor on the team in Baltimore.
"I was really excited about the way they think outside the box and all the different tools they use to engage with residents and with city governments," she says.
